The Secretary of State to the Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Kennedy)

490. Your 836, August 30, 10 a.m.52 We have given the British a tentative draft of the complete agreement, copies of which have been sent to you in the last pouch. The draft indicates by parentheses in Schedule I the points of disagreement in respect of our requests. From our standpoint, early signature depends primarily on a satisfactory answer to our proposals on a short list of agricultural products and lumber, as indicated in the draft. We may at a later time want you to take up these points with Stanley or his superiors.
